Melo had 13 rebounds and held his opponent to 4 points to the entire night.
So what do you exactly mean that you wish he would do everything? Melo scored (62 points, godlike scoring performance in NBA history, rebounded(13) and defense(MKG had 4 points).
He's done those things all year.
27 ppg
9 rebounds
good defense all year long.
You're a fool for the things you write, you're insulting yourself by throwing yourself out there like that. Your post are fueled from emotions than facts.
You make these things up like Melo has an ego? LOL...trust me son, if Melo had an ego; he would of been calling out of people out on this team. Melo has been nothing but a professional the entire time.
We got Melo here knowing that he would average 23-25 ppg. He's given us more than that and you're not thankful.
You don't deserve Melo.
I don't even think you deserve the Knicks, with how bad they been...when the good does come you don't appreciate. You, 3G4G and Kiyaman have been the worst fans because you guys aren't even good pessimist. You go off in different tangents that lack facts and go on this emotional tirade against one player who has very little flaws.
Just stop wasting your fine being a fan if a historic performance like this can't make you happy and make you eat your own words happily because thats what you should be doing. This thread is a big fail and you should hold that and not say "Melo's 62 point, 13 rebound, great defensive and 0 turnover performance didn't change my stance on him".
That's EGO.
Not even the best Knicks performance at MSG doesn't change your stance on Melo.
You have the EGO.
You refuse to let go of this emotional position you're holding on to with Melo and gave up being a Knicks fan. You failed yourself man and it's sad.
Kiyaman, 3G4G who are on my ignore list are lost causes. It takes a real man to admit when he's wrong and you're not acting manly about this one bit.
Although Melo's performance is well worthy of praise, there's some inaccuracies in this post, and also some potential downside from his epic performance.
First off, Melo's defense. Claiming good defense because he held Kidd-Gilchrist to 4 points is ridiculous. MKG is one of the worst offensive players there is in the NBA.
Claiming Melo has played good D all year is also stretching things a bit. Melo's failure to get back on defense regularly, most notably while he's complaining to an official about not receiving a foul call, compounds the Knicks terrible defensive switching and usually leads to open 3's and allowing other teams to go on runs/kill off our own runs.
Positives from this performance are an increase in Melo's trade value (biggest one), giving some hope back to the fans, perhaps giving the Knicks some fire too.
Negatives are the cementing of his value as a max contract player which could kill this teams flexibility for years to come this summer if we sign him to the max. Also the Knicks really need to get back to those team wins they had on their streak where Shump gets active and we need to bring Tyson into the fold too. That's if we care about this season at all, which to be honest can be pretty much thrown out at this point.
There's no question that Melo is one of the top talents in the NBA, and with the right pieces around him could be an MVP/Championship calibre player. However, the Knicks don't have the right pieces around him, and given the contracts we have on the books next year, nothing is going to change in that regard.
IF the Knicks sign Melo to the max they are going to need to do some incredibly savvy trades, drafting and player development to get a workable roster built around Melo. Since you can pretty much throw out this year and next, that gives leads us to the 2015/16 season where we might have a good team built around an aging star. Not a situation I'd want the Knicks in personally.
